Van Tour After 4 Years - SELF BUILT DIY CAMPER VAN - 2024 Van Tour

Here is my latest van tour, after so many upgrades and changes I thought it was about time that I updated you wonderful people on the changes since I made my last tour video - Lots have changed and I am guessing there are still more changes to come in the not too distant future.
Stay awesome you lot and above all, be kind...
Because there were so many links, there wasnt enough space in the description to show them all, so I have created a PDF and you can download it here Here (I have also included the video links too)

I couldn’t get the roof down in fear of bending the struts but thankfully, the roof stayed solid! 😅 Never want a repeat of that again!

    Sad day, Colin, I'm now permanently vanless. After four years of travelling (just about) every day in Gandhi, my beautiful bay leaf green T6.1, I've had to call it a day. Poor health and advancing years (nearly 70 of them) have made it more difficult to go camping, more difficult to use it as my everyday car and I couldn't stand the thought of it sitting on my driveway looking sad and lonely. Don't worry though, I'm staying subscribed and you won't hear the last of me on here or on the DOC Facebook thingy. Keep up the travels, the vids and the photography mate, and hopefully we'll bump into each other one day 👍 nice!!

    do you know there is a new MOT rule for changing head lights. If you only change the bulb for an LED then it is an MOT fail. You have to change the whole light and dedicated to a LED housing, to pass the MOT. I bought some ledperf LED light bulbs and asked my garage to fit them, he said he could but he would immediately have to fail the van on the next MOT because of the new rule.
